A semi-offtopic suggestion:Maybe the script exchange business could take place elsewhere, so this topic would be left for the general component discussion only? By that I mean information about new releases, feature requests, bug reports and other support, while the creations of the users and stories about the others struggling to use them would be kept separate.

definitely a great idea. so here's a new thread for it.

to get us started, here's a replacement artwork panel i made. it does a few things the standard CUI/DUI* panels can't do...

-if you edit/add artwork for the currently playing track, use the "Refresh" context menu item to see the changes without having to restart playback.-changes made in the foobar display preferences also take effect immediately if you use the "Refresh" command. currently, the DUI/CUI artwork panels require a foobar restart for those changes to take effect.-displays artwork for the previously played/selected track on foobar startup.-you can lock the panel size in pixels. no more messing around locking splitters. both CUI and DUI obey the limits set in the panel.-tooltip to show if the artwork is embedded or not. it also shows the actual image dimensions plus the currently displayed size.-it has the usual context menu options you would expect to set front/back/cover/artist/etc

(*for those that aren't aware - WSH panel mod can now run in DUI natively without dockable panels)

for people who are new to WSH panel mod, remember to download the samples as there's lots of good stuff to get you going.

here's another script. this is for DUI only. it allows you to create your own buttons of any size, using any images you like. by default it uses the DUI background colour (it changes colour as you change theme).

but it also has an option to set the background to the same colour as the splitter or your own custom colour which you can specify in the script.

it does require a little tinkering to get going so here's a guide. first of all download and save this script....

here's another script for DUI. it's a ratings panel that displays the current rating and of course lets you set it. it works with the official playback statistics component. it has the same context menu options as the "buttons" panel above to set the background colour.

when foobar is playing it sticks to now playing. and when playback is stopped, it follows the cursor.

just copy/paste this code into a new panel and download these images and extract them to your foobar folder.

//edit this line or comment it out if you don't want a fixed size....window.MinWidth = window.MinHeight = window.MaxWidth = window.MaxHeight = 375;

Yes, just like that. I'm an idiot.

Actually, what I want is slightly different from this (I really shouldn't post in the middle of the night when I'm half asleep). I want behavior that is similar to the DUI & CUI, when the album view panel is not locked, except the panel keeps its aspect ratio constant.Anish

Here my new mod of the album art panel. There is now buttons on the panel which will fade when entering. Actually there is one button to refresh, prev, play/pause/next and one buttons i use to launch Album Art Downloader.Right now buttons are placed at the bottom but i will make it configurable through the menu.To make it work you must change that line

To the path that will contain your buttons images. You must have a Prev.png, Pause.png, next.png. reload.png, albumart.png.

This is a work in progress!

That's pretty cool. What would be really awesome is if your fading effects could somehow be merged with marc2003's button script to easily create buttons that fade between the normal state and hover state.

it caches the results in a folder called lastfm_bio inside your profile folder (this is created automatically for you). but you can force an update through the context menu should you want to.

it has no other features. it's for display purposes only.

and sorry if there is too much text to fit in a panel. i don't have the skills or inclination to learn how to do such a thing. just make it bigger.

Awesome. I always loved the functionality of the biography plugin, but it always causes at least a split second stutter when switching tracks (and considerably more than that if I want to display artist art) on the DUI. This works very well.

Great job marc2003.Just one thing. You know that biography view can get those info for you and cache them. As it works as a background process i suppose it also works with DUI.i am using biograview tags to do what you do.
